Most achievements are the product of multiple factors meeting at a specific point in time.
In many of the scenarios you hint at, new problems or opportunities arose, and those people were simply well-positioned by chance and circumstance to tackle them.
The problem should take center stage, not the men.
- jebarker 2y agoI agree with what you are saying regarding luck and opportunity playing a bigger role in people's success than is often appreciated. But I think it's ok to enjoy and appreciate the existence of a person in the world that was in the right place and right time to solve the problem. The fact that the universe made that occur is just as enjoyable as the problem itself.
- golergka 2y agoWhat you're saying is closer to the truth, but believing in heroes is more useful for personal motivation. When believing in something untrue is good for them (usually, for their mental health), people usually choose to do it.
